Raymond V. Bowers Award

The Bowers Award was established by Professor Emeritus Raymond V. Bowers to honor students in the School of Sociology program, or those with a graduate minor in Sociology, who have written outstanding papers. Papers submitted for consideration are judged by a panel of faculty. First and second place cash awards — worth $300 and $200, respectively — will be given to the students judged to have written the best papers. Recipients of the awards are announced each Spring during the School of Sociology Student Awards Ceremony.
